Hi Grant, Sorry for my stupid question, but it is usually a best practice to include such file in the src tar balls? I am certainly okay with including it, of course. :)
But I didn't see it in ZooKeeper 3.4.7, Hadoop 2.4.6 or Cassandra 3.0 sources, for example. OTOH, I see the .gitattributes file in Hadoop src folder with the content as below: # Auto detect text files and perform LF normalization * text=auto *.cs text diff=csharp *.java text diff=java *.html text diff=html *.py text diff=python *.pl text diff=perl *.pm text diff=perl *.css text *.js text *.sql text *.sh text eol=lf *.bat text eol=crlf *.cmd text eol=crlf *.vcxproj text merge=union eol=crlf *.csproj text merge=union eol=crlf *.sln text merge=union eol=crlf Cheers, Eddie On Wed, Nov 25, 2015 at 5:30 PM, Grant Henke <ghe...@cloudera.com> wrote: > The recent release source does not contain the repo's .gitignore file.
